LinkedIn: James Pullar
James has practiced family law since 2008. He shifted his focus exclusively to alternative dispute resolution practices after extensive court system experience. He came to view litigation as a last resort rather than a starting point.
James uses collaborative law and cooperative approaches to help clients navigate a difficult process while avoiding the uncertain outcomes and high financial and emotional costs of going to court. In addition to being a trained arbitrator, James also enjoys the mediator role, acting as a neutral facilitator to help separated couples reach a settlement.
Other pursuits
When James finds a sliver of free time between work and parenting his three children, he enjoys photography, managing a softball team and adding to his substantial record collection.
